STORM AND CALM

RAMAYANA

He gave us the life that we hold and we should give him peace of mind. He is afraid about the other world. We should free him from this fear. So far, we have never given him cause for sorrow or dissatisfaction. Now we have become the cause of a great fear in his mind about what is to be happen to him in the other world. We can easily relieve him. Instead of doing this , are we to add to his troubles? For this reason my mind has altogether turned away from the coronation and is intent on the journey to the forest. 

"My sole desire now is to go to the forest and see that Bharata is crowned.  This would please me best. If I delay, Kaikeyi will grow suspicious.  Hence I should go to the forest this very day and bring peace to her mind. Rid of the fear of the sin of breaking a promise and assured of my willing and cheerful acceptance of his command, our father will be happy. 

"And we should not be angry with Kaikeyi either. Has she not been kind to us all these years? That she would suddenly conceive this idea is surely the working of fate. We should not blame her for it. One proposes something and fate decides otherwise. In this. Kaileyi is but a passive instrument in the hand of fate. 

"Our little mother will have to bear the grievous burden of the world's blame, but our love for her should remain the same as ever.If, before this, there had been evil  in her thought, her conduct would have shown it.  There is no doubt that some higher force has made her say suddenly and harshly, 'Raama, go  to the forest." Otherwise how could a high-minded woman who so far looked upon us as her own children now behave so brazenly  before her husband? Who can oppose destiny? Even steadfast sages have swerved suddenly from their tapas. How can poor Kaileyi hope to resist fate?

BHAGAVAD-GITA

9-1
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to you this most confidential knowledge and realization , knowing which you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence.  

9-2
This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of religion. It is ever lasting, and it is joyfully performed.

9-3
Those who are not faithful in this devotional service cannot attain Me, O conqueror  of enemies. Therefore they return to the path of birth and death in this material world. 

9-4
By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.

పోతనభాగవతము

పైలుడు ఋగ్వేదాన్ని పఠించచం ప్రారంభించాడు. జైమిని సామవేదం చదువసాగాడు. వైశంపాయనుడు యజుర్వేదాన్ని అధ్యయనం చేయటం మొదలు పెట్టాడు. సుమంతుడు అథర్వవేదాన్ని ఆరంభించాడు. మాతండ్రి గారైన రోమహర్షణుడు పట్టుదలతో సమస్త పురాణాలూ, ఇతిహాసాలూచదవటం మొదలుపెట్టాడు. ఈ విధంగా తాము నేర్చుకున్నవేదాలూ, పురాణాలూ, ఇతిహాసాలూ ఆ తపోఘనులు తమ శిష్యులకు వేరువేరుగా విభజించి చెప్పారు. ఆ శిష్యులందరూ తమతమ శిష్యులకు అనేక విధాలుగా ఉపదేశించారు. ఇలా వేదం ఈ మేదిని మీద అనేక  శాఖలతో  భూసుర సమూహంలో భాసిల్లింది.

మిగతాది..తర్వాత.

SEETHA'S RESOLVE

  RAMAYANA The King bade Sumantra let the prince in. Raama came and bowed to the King from a distance. As soon as he saw Raama, the King suddenly rose and rushed without-- stretched arms  to embrace him. but dropped in a swoon before reaching his son.  Raama and Lakshmana tenderly lifted him up and put him on the couch."My Lord, "  said Raama "we have come to seek your leave  to go to the forest. Vaidehi and Lakshmana too are going with me in spite of all I could do to make them desist. Pray give us your benedictions and leave to depart." Dasaradha then said "Raama, I am bound by the boons that I have given to Kaikeyi. But you are not so bound. Why do you not brush me aside and seize the Kingdom by force? That had long been in King's mind as the best and only solution of the cruel problem and came out now clearly in words. But Raama said: I have no desire for kingdom or power, father.May you reign for a thousand years more. My heart is now set on going to t...

AHALYA

RAMAYANA After a day's stay  in the City of Visaala, Viswaamitra and his  party left for Mithila. On the way,  not for from Mithila, they saw a beautiful aashrama which seemed untenanted. Raama asked V iswaamitra: "Whose is this aashrama with ancient trees? Why does such a beautiful abode stand deserted?" Viswaamitra replied: "This aashrama is subject to a curse.  Sage Gautama lived here with his wife Ahalya,spending his days in peace and holy meditation. One day during the Sage's absence from the aashrama ,Indra filled with unholy desire for the beautiful Ahalya, entered it disguised as Gautama and approached the lady with urgent solicitation. She was not deceived by the impersonation., but vain of her beauty and proud that it had won her the love of the lord of the celestial s, she lost her judgement and yielded to his desire. "When the sin had been sinned, realizing its heinousness and the and the fierce spiritual energy of her betrayed hu...

RAMAYANA Contemporaneously with the yaaga in A yodhya there was a conference of the Devas in heaven. The Devas complained to Lord Brahma that  Raavana, king of the demons, drunk with the power acquired by the boon granted to him by Brahma, was causing them untold misery and hardship. they represented to Brahma:"It is beyond our capacity to subdue, conquer or kill  Raavana. In the security of your boon, he has grown wicked and insolent and ill-treats all, even women,  His desire is to dethrone Indra. You are only our only  refuge  and it is for you to devise a method by which Raavana can be slain and his despotism ended. " Brahma knew that he had granted to Raavana the boon prayed for by him that he should be invulnerable and invincible against Devas, Asuras,Gandharvas and other such beings. In his arrogance, Raavana did not care to ask for security against mankind. As Brahma revealed this fateful omission all the Gods rejoiced and turned to  Vishnu....
